organizations that do the best in terms of running on time, even machine like,
are in fact fully cognizant that they are running in open space, if not Open

will depend on a lot of things but it is certainly not a bad idea.</span></font></p>

Translated that means, I don’t care how good a schedule you have, how
fine your equipment, how well trained the folks – things just work
differently when it is snowing, raining, sleeting, sun shining – or all
of the above. And things also will work differently depending: a) Everybody has

(maintaining the schedule, or whatever) does not lie in the rigid application
of some pre-existing, abstract procedure or system. Superior performance only
appears when the capacity for rapid adaptation is present in spades. And Open
Space is one of the best ways (in my experience) to speedily shift assets and
resources to meet emergent conditions and challenges. And it sure beats the
hell out of holding an executive committee meeting, or worse yet dumping the
whole mess on some poor, possibly hung over manager on a Monday morning. </span></font></p>

was in charge of roads for Pueblo, CO. Amongst other things that meant he had
responsibility for snowplowing in the winter – and that is a lot of snow
and a lot of roads, to say nothing of very big and steep mountains. Keeping
those roads clear involves split second timing under very hazardous conditions.
Just think of three plows in tandem (20 ton trucks) coming down a mountain pass
at 40 miles an hour. One small mistake and that is 60 tons of steel and three
mangled drivers at the bottom of the canyon. So how did they do this?</span></font></p>

with an Open Space for all drivers, maintenance folks, and support staff. Focal
question was always something like, “Moving Snow: Issues and
Opportunities. That’s how they made their plan and got ready. And come
snow time, when the folks gathered in the yards to warm and load (salt/sand)
the trucks – it may not have looked like an Open Space (circle, bulletin
board, market place), but when you have the spirit you can by-pass some of the superficials
and accomplish the same thing. And these folks did. For mid-course corrections
(new equipment, budget constraints, new teams etc) – easy -- open
more space.</span></font></p>

make a confession. The word “synchronicity” has always bugged me.
Comes from the Greek “syn” “chronos” (literally –
with time, or same time). It is time and the clocks that get me. As if
clocks/time makes that much difference. And in contemporary usage,
synchronicity gets an over plus of being something weird, magical, or psychic.
Now -- who am I to question things “magical, weird, and psychic?” I
have had some people suggest that all three of those things could be my middle
name. But still they make me very uncomfortable.</span></font></span></p>

the heading of synchronicity (and then go WOOWOO!) seem to me to be very
natural, rather what you would expect – especially if you are in the real
flow of things, and acutely aware of that flow. So when Chris talks about
Seagulls sitting on the window sill, laughing at the Closing Circle, my
reaction is – What would you expect, Chris? And Tree, the fact that you
felt irresistibly called to let dinner in the door sounds pretty reasonable to
me. And Phelim, if you really insist in seeing Butterflies and Bumble Bees

this is an everyday story, especially when our awareness is turned up to HIGH
(as in OS). And the story suffers when we try to re-write it according to our
notion of what we think SHOULD be happening. It gets even worse when we try to
operationalize our understanding of what SHOULD be happening in order to bring
it under control and make sure that it happens the way we expect it to.
